1 Peter 3:1-7 You don’t need examples, illustrations, news headlines, or statistics to know that it’s not easy to build a biblical, God-honoring home.

Disorder Opening: We are diving back into our Study of first Corinthians 14, as Paul compares the use of tongues and prophecy in a Corinthian context. As we have seen and discussed at length, Paul is concerned, because the current the ends have begun to value the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues…

Intro We are continuing our study of the book of Hebrews this morning with the beginning of Chapter 3. As we study these books together, it is important to remember that we will not cover every topic, every word contained within this book..

Kids: “I didn’t mean to.” Will never hold up in a court of law. Neither will good intentions hold up in God’s court room proceedings. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. Those who have good intentions only of doing the…

In the New Testament era, the true gift of tongues was the ability to speak a language which was unknown to the speaker but known to someone present. God had a very definite purpose in it, which we’ll see later on in this message, but in the Corinthian assembly, they had taken the true gift and had twisted…

Pursue love and desire spiritual gifts, and especially that you may prophesy. For the person who speaks in a tongue is not speaking to people but to God, since no one understands him; he speaks mysteries in the Spirit. On the other hand, the person who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening,…

Last weekend we began this two-part series on What is the Church? The church is not a physical building, but a group of believers or a spiritual body, and Christ is the head of the body or church. My desire was to help us see that the Universal Church is made up of all believers and that the smaller…

In Romans 8:5-8 Paul identifies the mind as a significant area of difference between the believer and unbeliever.

1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. 2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that…

Today's sermon is about how the Word of God works in the lives of believers.

Does this sound familiar: “"If you're in a dispute with another party and you can't seem to work things out, don't take the law into your own hands; you take 'em to court," This was the tagline stated by the host of the courtroom reality show in the 80-90’s called the People’s Court. Some of you will…

20 Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature. 21 In the law it is written: “With men of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,” says the Lord. 22 Therefore tongues are for…

Biblical Basis of Separation 14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? Unequally yoked- ἑτεροζυγέω…

We are going to begin our Christmas series by looking at a figure in the Christmas story that is a little mysterious. We are going to look at Joseph this morning and the decision that he had to make. Now, Joseph is famous. he’s the earthly father of Jesus and he’s featured in all of our nativity sets, but we really don’t know much about him. In fact, did you know that we really don’t know for sure if he was a carpenter, though he probably was! We assume he was because Jesus was, but the text doesn’t actually say this. We only know that he was poor and of the lineage of David. He was a righteous man as we will see, but that is about all we know. However, we do know he had a tough job raising the Son of God. You talk about high pressure. He also had a tough decision to make. Some of you here may have some tough decisions going on in your life, and I hope Joseph can be an example to you this morning of how to follow God’s will for your life.
